THE PITNEY BOWES BANK, INC. VS. ABC CAGING FULFILLMENT
A-2287-13T3
In this case we consider the effect of N.J.S.A. 34:11-31
and -32 on a levy of a debtor's bank account, which the debtor
claimed was used to pay employees' wages. As the statutes hold
that wages owing at the time of the levy must be paid before the
sheriff disburses funds to the creditor, we hold that the wages
owed at the time of the levy were exempt funds. On the other
hand, we hold that wages that became due after the date of the
levy, but before the levied funds were turned over to the
creditor, were not exempt under N.J.S.A. 34:11-32.
